You know its so hard, because you feel the family and the community and yet you feel so powerless to do anything from a distance. I really had hoped there would be survivors :-( but after the second explosion thats not possible. I just hope that the family can get thier loved ones back soon. Also I feel for the australian and scottish familes affected by this tragedy.

I'm very ashamed to say that I haven't been following the news or reading the papers, so I completely forgot about the mine tragedy. It hasn't even been discussed at work, not with me anyway.I'm so very sorry and am lighting a candle immediately.
